By consistently connecting chemical and spectrophotometric evolution we are able to include the effect of dust absorption. The time and redshift evolution of extinction is based on the evolution of the gas content and metallicity. We present our evolutionary synthesis models which include dust absorption to analyse the UV emission in various galaxy types. We are able to predict E(B-V) for different galaxy types as a function of redshift. We further use these models to explore the range of metallicities in normal and starbursting galaxies and the metallicity distribution of the stellar population. Comparing our model SED's with templates from Kennicutt's and Kinney et al.'s atlas we show detailed agreement with integrated spectra of galaxies and point out the importance of aperture effects. Combined with a cosmological model we show the differences in the evolutionary and k-corrections comparing models with and without dust.
